MOMS ON CALL

“Is this normal?” Every parent has asked that question more than once as their child gets older and more often than not the answer is “Yes!” This week on the podcast we’ll talk to two of those parents. First, we’ll talk to a mom that is worried about how much cooing her 13-week-old is doing. Then, a toddler in Colorado is refusing to let her parents read to her. Is it normal? 

What is a doula? Today on the podcast we’ll talk to the Baby Chick herself Nina Spears all about exactly how a doula supports moms-to-be through the pregnancy and birth process.
